Taken at Deutsches Technikmuseum. They have a big display with rotating LEDs. As the room is fairly dark, I made these patterns by moving and twisting the camera.
Just like the view.. I see a sort of progression of the rocks moving to the water. Yeah, I dream a little...
I was walking on one of the less traveled paths in Snelling State Park and ended up in the middle of a big herd of doe's most of them being about 5 feet away from me. They didn't mind me take some photos before moving on.
Thank you for looking.

Have a great week my friends and never stop moving!
It's been an emotional and full week. My daughter and family sold out and moved to Texas. We spent some time with them on their last day, before driving away, pulling a trailer full of stuff that the movers coudn't fit in.
Then, the following day, was an annual geocaching event in the desert - the 21st annual. I spent four nights in Ocotillo Wells and just arrived home yesterday afternoon.
Coming up on Friday is our annual Giving Tree event at church. We will be over there until Sunday afternoon.
Hopefully, by Monday, I'll finally be back to my old Flickr schedule.
[I moved this cabinet card up to the head of the line because somebody favorited it today, and many of my new followers probably haven't seen it. When it comes to pure greatness, here you are. This is just a fabulous cabinet card. I paid a pretty penny for it back in the day, like, a lot of money, but I still think it was money well spent. A relative of Mrs. Robinson contacted me to tell me about her, but thank goodness she didn't want the photo back. I fall in love quite easily. I fell in love with Mrs. Robinson, and though my hopes are unrequited, I am still her eternal slave.]
I bought this card from an Internet dealer (not Ebay). He had posted the card, as he does every two weeks, and put a price on it, and no one had bought it. The photos are posted on Sunday, and the first person who says he will pay the money gets the photo. I told the dealer I was tempted, and he emailed back and urged me to buy it. Naturally, I ended up buying it, even though it was priced very high. I've paid more for a photo, but that was on Ebay. I'm not going to say how much I paid for this, but it was a lot.
On the one hand, you could say I overpaid. I mean, it's just a photo of a woman looking in a mirror. The photo has some fingerprint smudges, it's kind of plain, barren, there's not a lot going on, and though I find this woman attractive enough, she's not a stunning (a favorite Ebay seller's word) beauty. I mean, it's just a nice photograph---why did I waste my money?
I paid that money because the photograph is astonishingly modern. It's like the past leapfrogged the present and jumped into the future. I mean, this woman is dead, and there she is, looking right at us, right now, not a hundred years ago, or however long ago it was.
Did she know that we would be looking at her? Why isn't she smiling? I think she isn't smiling because she's saying "I Lived." She's saying, "I'm Living." She's saying, "I'm Alive." And of course she's not alive. But she is alive.
Perhaps I bought the photograph because it distills into a single artifact so much of what draws me to old photographs (and yes, of course, I find her attractive).
I don't think the seller had done a lot of research on Wirt Robinson. Maybe one of you who has access to genealogical resources could find her first name for me. Perhaps there was more than one "Wirt Robinson." However, I found information on only one, and since the one I found was a good one, I didn't look any further.
Wirt Robinson was in the Army, and he taught at West Point. He wrote a book which seems to be still in print, with the wonderful title "Notes On The Circumstances Of A Moving Projectile." Apparently, when he wasn't teaching at West Point, he was off in the tropics, looking at birds. Somewhere (ART_NAHPRO perhaps will find it for us) there is a book he wrote, or illustrated, about birds in the forests of Venezuela. How he could have borne the absence of Mrs. Wirt Robinson is beyond me. Perhaps the experience of her was so rich, so filling, so extravagant, that he could only take a little bit at a time, like foie gras or something. From the looks of things, I would guess that Mrs. Robinson was extremely sensitive in that little square inch just behind her ear lobe. They say that the universe is so vast that out there somewhere there is another planet where they speak English. If that is so, perhaps there is another planet out there where Mrs. Robinson and mrwaterslide might meet and fall in love (of course, not-wanting her to be Mrs. Robinson, but Amelia Arnold, or whatever her maiden name was.)
I have this idea of what Wirt Robinson was like. He must have been an academic sort of fellow, but, like Mr. Chips, he was that lucky fellow who met the love of his life, and won her heart, as she had won his. Unlike Mr. Chips, I hope his love endured in the earthly realm, and lasted to old age. There would have been fires in the fireplace, and sherry, and croquet perhaps, and the triumphs and sadnesses of students who came and went (it seems that Wirt Robinson lived in to the 20's though I haven't found a date of death.)
One last little tidbit, that I saw once and now can't find again---apparently at West Point there is a little memorial to Wirt Robinson, and it seems, though I haven't been able to find a picture, that it is a statue of a bunch of ducks. I really hope you're allowed to go there and see it.

An installation with a moving video on all sides of the room. Visitors are invited to walk the path around the room. I found it to be very scary - I almost had to crawl out part way.

In the Cape Cod brooks and streams, Blue back herring (Alosa aestivalis) and Alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus) are in the height of their spawning run.
As these fish migrate from the bay into their ancestral spawning grounds, they face a gauntlet of dangers and obstacles. Gulls, osprey, and other sea birds are a constant threat.

Photographing dead animals is at the very back of my list but coming across the lifeless body of a deer in the surf is such an unusual sight I felt compelled to take a moment. Couldn't say how she came to be there but the long winter couldn't have done her any favors.
Amid pale green milkweed, wild clover,
a rotted deer
curled, shaglike,
after a winter so cold
the trees split open.
I think she couldn't keep up with
the others (they had no place
to go) and her food,
frozen grass and twigs,
wouldn't carry her weight.
Now from bony sockets,
she stares out on this
cruel luxuriance.

Moving on with my retro look and went for a pencil skit yesterday. I do like the look but could do with wider hips. Yeah i know i could can replicate those but that's just not me besides not all women have hips as we know them.
Dyed my hair too yesterday hence the ginger/orange tone lol. always happens in our family.
Its a little dull outside today so don't think I will be in the garden and i have watched everything worth watching on the box so i will just have to find something else to do after tidying up my room.
